At that time, Kardashian had just wrapped up her final season of "Khloé and Lamar," she was in the midst of a co-hosting gig on "X Factor," and she hadn't yet started her weight-loss journey that would later take over her future Instagram feed.

Nowadays, Kardashian's social-media presence is dedicated to promoting products (including her own Good American denim line) and her fitness ventures.

Clearly, a lot has changed in five years.

Kardashian's Instagram game in 2012 may seem worlds away from her feed now — but her first few Instagram posts actually revealed a lot.

If you look closely, Kardashian's early Insta feed showcases her body struggles *years* before she publicly embarked on her total body transformation.

Case in point:

Kardashian's first-ever Insta wasn't a selfie or a booty shot. It was actually a very un-Kardashian snapshot of her accessories.

"I am finally on Instagram," she wrote, marking her Insta arrival with a bracelet-and-earrings post.

"Repost baby!" Kardashian captioned this sister "selfie" (if you can even call it that?) taken by Kylie Jenner.

(LOL, remember when Jenner's Insta handle was @kylieejennerr? The double-E and double-R was classic.)

And when Kardashian *wasn't* hiding her face in selfies, she filled her feed with complaints about her then-husband Lamar Odom's sweet tooth.

"This is what I have to resist all of the time," she wrote. "LOL I think I can. I think I can."

Her posts centered on how difficult it was to resist his candy stash.

"They don't call him the Candy Man for nothing," she added.

But then in November 2012, we finally got this gem.

Tight dress? Body and face in full view? Progress!

Followed by this gorgeous shot...

... and then this fierce stance.

On November 23, 2012, Kardashian posted this full-body photo of herself dancing with her husband — marking an end to her hiding.

She wrapped up 2012 with a few more selfies, and then in 2013, she started documenting her weight-loss journey.

(Seriously, her feed has so many treadmill pics.)

Kardashian finally became comfortable with herself — and now there's no stopping her.

We're so happy the 2017 Khloé Kardashian has a surge of newfound confidence and isn't afraid to show off her figure.

She's come such a long way and has worked really hard to make herself feel good about the way she looks.

However, looking back at her first few Instagram posts, it's clear she was plagued by insecurity.

(She recently revealed that back in the day, people would tell her "Kim has a body like a Ferrari, and you have a body like a Honda" — and Kardashian actually agreed. "I was like, 'Yep, that sounds about right,'" she noted.)

We love to see growth and transformation, but we're sad that she felt like she couldn't show her body some love until she changed it.

Kardashian is beautiful now, but she was also beautiful then.
